(dissenting) :
Being of the opinion that governmental or sovereign immunity is no longer an acceptable, viable doctrine, I respectfully dissent. See Boyce v. Lancaster County Natural Gas Authority, 266 S. C. 398, 223 S. E. (2d) 769 (1976), Ness, J., dissenting opinion.
I would reverse and remand for a new trial of the matter.
Ness, J., concurs.
